`golangci-lint config verify` prints help on verification failure

[matthewhughes934]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've read the typecheck section of the FAQ (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/faq/#why-do-you-have-typecheck-errors).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available (e.g., gocritic, go vet, etc.). (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

Upon failing verification on a config, the verification error is printed and so is the command's help:

$ golangci-lint config verify
jsonschema: "linters-settings.govet" does not validate with "/properties/linters-settings/properties/govet/additionalProperties": additionalProperties 'check-shadowing' not allowed
Error: the configuration contains invalid elements
Usage:
  golangci-lint config verify [flags]

Global Flags:
      --color string   Use color when printing; can be 'always', 'auto', or 'never' (default "auto")
  -c, --config PATH    Read config from file path PATH
  -h, --help           Help for a command
      --no-config      Don't read config file
  -v, --verbose        Verbose output

Failed executing command with error: the configuration contains invalid elements

Expectation: help is only printed if I passed invalid flags/had some invalid setup.
I find printing the help clutters the output and makes it hard to read the reason for the failure

Thanks for adding the config verify command, I was recently looking for exactly this behaviour and was happy to see it included

A minimal reproducible example or link to a public repository

You just need any invalid config (the one shared above will do) then run golangci-lint config verify.

I see cobra.Command has a SilenceUsage attribute but I'm not sure we can set this from within the verify command because of spf13/cobra#564. Maybe executeVerify could run as a command.Run (instead of a command.RunE) and just log its errors?

Validation

• Yes, I've included all information above (version, config, etc.).

Hello,

it was originally inside the PR content but it was removed by error during review.

It will be fixed by #4597.
